VGSTUDIO MAX

High-End lndustrial CT Software

High-End Software for CT Data

VGSTUDIO MAX is the high-end software for the analysis and visualization of industrial computed tomography (CT) data. Innovative companies not only use VGSTUDIO MAX in non-destructive testing, but also increasingly integrate it into their future-oriented development and production solutions.

Separate data sets into individual parts (Regions of Interest, or ROIs) that may consist of different components, materials, etc. using manual selection and drawing tools as well as semi-automated tools.

Use subvoxel-precise segmentation to further increase accuracy.

Use CAD models as a starting contour for a (locally) adaptive surface determination and easily generate precise surfaces, especially in multi-material scenarios.*

Create ROIs from clipping objects.

Restrict analyses and visualizations to individual ROIs.

Use the drawing tool with upper and lower threshold values to easily separate even data sets with fluctuating gray values.

Subvoxel-precise surface determination makes even those details visible that are smaller than a voxel – automatically, manually, and intervalbased.

Gray values of individual voxels are processed depending on the gray values of the surrounding voxels, which makes the surface determination markedly more precise.

The interval-based mode allows for a high-precision, locally adaptive surface determination, even within an automated environment and with changing gray value conditions.

Between material and air is the surface. Often the surface is defined by a single gray value. When using Advanced Surface Determination, however, the gray values are processed depending on the gray values of the surrounding voxels. The result is a much more precise surface.

Not just smoother but also more precise: Using the subvoxelprecise surface determination (right) reduces your measurement uncertainty by giving you details the voxel-based surface determination (left) is not able to show.

Volume Graphics Software Is Verified by PTB

The metrology capabilities of Volume Graphics software are verified by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany’s national metrology institute. PTB tested the algorithms based on the minimum-zone method (“Chebyshev”) and on the least-squares method (“Gauss”). These algorithms are used for coordinate measurement in VGSTUDIO MAX and VGMETROLOGY.

The accuracy of the evaluation software (Volume Graphics Metrology Kernel, version VGMK 3.0.0 91377) was verified by comparing the results obtained from the software with reference results provided by the PTB for the same set of data.

Uses native CAD files such as CATIA V5 and Creo/Pro/ENGINEER for nominal/actual comparisons, segmentation, and other tasks (in addition to the STEP and IGES formats in the basic edition of VGSTUDIO MAX) **

Offers enhanced auto-completion modes

Replaces CAD geometries with matching geometry elements

Automatically translates CAD views into bookmarks

CAD Import with PMI *

Understands so-called Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) that is generated in many current CAD systems and provides additional part information, e.g., dimensioning, GD&T, layers, annotations, or captions ***

Saves a considerable amount of time when preparing measurement plans and thus increases the efficiency of your quality control by intelligently evaluating PMI data

Keyword: .vgl

The file format ".vgl" is the industry standard for the exchange of 3D data from industrial computed tomography (CT). Independent of the CT hardware used, ".vgl" data can be used flexibly throughout the entire workflow - for quality control, metrology, damage analysis, and product development.
